Wars have a destructive impact on society. The violence in the
first case is domicide, in the second urbicide, in the third
genocide, and in the fourth, the book introduces a neologism,
sociocide, the killing of society. Through the lens of this
neologism, Keith Doubt provides persuasive evidence of the social,
political, and human consequences of today's wars in countries such
as Bosnia and Iraq. Sociocide: Reflections on Today's Wars
rigorously formulates, develops, and applies the notion of
sociocide as a Weberian ideal type to contemporary wars. Drawing
upon sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and literature, Doubt
analyzes war crimes, scapegoating, and torture and concludes by
examining capitalism in the face of the coronavirus pandemic as a
sociocidal force. Embedded in the humanistic tradition and informed
by empirical science, this book provides a clear conceptual account
of today's wars, one that is objective and moral, critical and
humanistic.
